Monday Bloody Monday: ‘Belch’s Death’ From ‘Stephen King’s IT’ (1990)

Have you heard the news? There’s some movie called IT coming out this week. Yeah, you probably haven’t read or seen much about it, but apparently it’s a reboot/remake of the 1990 mini-series of the same name and a potentially much more faithful adaptation of the Stephen King novel. Oh, I’m pulling your leg – you’d have to be living in a sewer to not know about this movie, since news of IT has been floating around everywhere.

So on this week’s Monday Bloody Monday, I felt it only right to go back to the original movie (which hasn’t aged well in spots unfortunately) and revisit one of my favorite scenes: Belch’s death. This scene always creeped me out as a kid, the way his body bends in half when he gets pulled in by the ‘deadlights’. Make sure to keep watching and check out Henry Bowers’ wicked white Elvis hairdo too. And make sure not to be a loser and go check out the new version of IT in theaters this week!
